So I have successfully installed mongodb on my macbook. I say this bc when i run 'brew install mongodb' command line says: 'mongodb-2.6.7 already installed. I ran the command 'mkdir -p /data/db' although I am not able to really follow what that did (and I have tried going through some of the other threads on SO and the Mongo site but didn't understand how to resolve the issue; sry I am a little bit noobish and don't really understand the problem). However, when I type in mongod to see if it is running successfully I get the following error/output

One of the issues listed says 'soft rlimits too low', but my understanding is since I'm just doing this for development rather than production purposes that is irrelevant. Can someone adivse how to resolve this error? Here is a comparable thread but I wasn't sure what to do:

Does that mean its working now?
